3 Steps to Choosing Your Proper Winter Suit

Simply because the weather is starting to get a lot colder does not mean that you can’t still dress up. How do you stay dapper in the blistering cold you ask? Here’s a solution:

1.) Fabric: This is a critical decision to make in order to ensure that you stay warm in the winter. 100% Wool is one of the best options to choose from when it comes to the winter suit. It will keep you warm in addition to having breathability.

2.) Color: During the winter season, darker shades of black, grey, or even navy suits are the most commonly seen. We are living in an age where fashion is constantly changing and if you think that dark colors are boring and want to wear a lighter color, then more power to you. It will not be frowned upon. If you want to wear a darker shade, but still want to jazz up your winter attire, then you can look for a stripped or windowpane pattern.

These subtle additions to your suit make a difference. Now you need to decide what kind of suit you should wear, a regular two piece or three piece suit. Before a three piece suit was seen as something you would only wear to a more formal event. However, the times have changed and it’s acceptable to use both interchangeably.

3.) Ties & Accessories: Congratulations, you’ve made it this far. It’s time to add the finishing touches to your suit. The winter season is already miserably cold. Don’t add a boring tie to your suit. Jazz it up a little bit with a wool tie. They come in all kinds of patterns and can certainly make your suit stand out.

Gents, there is NO “winter suit.” Choose the highest quality, light weight wool, have the suit fit you well (fitting of the arms and the correct drape and length of trousers critical here), and, wear a decent, weather appropriate, coat when parading outside. Inside, the spaces are heated well enough that even when wearing shorts you shall not freeze. Nor should you sweat in “winter weight” suits. Colours? If you absolutely MUST, wear electrifying pink. Greys in all shades and depths, browns, and even blacks will be a better road to promotion. Oh, and if you choose striped fabrics, stick to pin stripes rather than to the rather odious Al Capone varieties.
